Depends a lot on where you live. Guys will tell you anywhere from 40-65/hr. I pay my subs $40.00/hr with a 3/4 ton truck and at least a 8ft blade. Get some type of wing set up for your blade, you might get a few more bucks per hour.

I signed last week as a sub for $80.00 an hour + 5.00 an hour for fuel. I run a 3/4 ton with a 8.5' V and 3 years experience. Its about an 8 hr route with 3-4" on the ground. commercial and residential mix. I also do some of my friends' drives for 1 case of Busch Light each, a month, they are last and are only hit once a storm.

I get 110.00 per hour here in WI- western side of the state. I wont plow unless it turns out to be about 90-120.00 per hour. I dont do any Residentials under 35.00- and the 4 I have at 35.00 per time are right across the road from me! Dont work for free or low-ball!

If it wasn't for plowsite i'd feel a lot better about what I charge an hour for a truck/loader/sidewalk guys.....ugh! cheap disgusting wh@res I tell ya.........I get so worked up about this, I should just start bidding in terms of cases or bottles to calm myself down.

I have to say, these threads about pricing sure do get confusing! There really is no correct answer to any of these questions, other than figure out what ALL of your OVERHEAD costs are (many good threads detailing this) & simply add either the profit you want/need to make, or better yet, what your MARKET will bear. When it comes to the MARKET, it's fairly simple: if your area gets 150+" of snow a year, your going to be able to charge a fraction of what subs make in an area that gets 20" of snow a year.

Personally, as a sub, I keep it between my boss & myself what I make per hour. It's no one elses business, as he's the only one that can truly put an accurate value on what I'm worth per hour. Also, beware of random info over the internet from across the country, some guys may be "pulling your chain" a bit!
